llinois’ Endangered Species Protection Board (ESPB) is a committed group of professionals. They are charged with determining what species are 'threatened' or 'endangered' and how to manage them. Now, special interests are proposing to permanently weaken Illinois’ ESPB by deferring wildlife protections to Federal agencies controlled by the Trump Administration. These efforts - HB2425 and SB1336 - must be stopped. Instead, the ESPB needs the support of dedicated staff at the Department of Natural Resources to help administer their work.
